Transparent Sprites - Programming Tutorial (TFT_eSPI library)

As I promised, here is tutorial. How to use transparent Sprites on any TFT display. This example works great with TFT_eSPI library. I am using T-Display S3 but you can use and TFT display or any development board.

I hope you learned something, if you did, please leave a comment.

Your Tft_espi tutorials are fantastic. Thank you so much for taking your time to share this great information.

Excellent video!
Your English is not clumsy at all. You are a very clear presenter and every video I have watched has been an excellent presentation. Large parts of America have both English and Spanish as primary languages so your English closely follows the normal English of somebody who speaks multiple languages. Most importantly, you explain everything very clearly. Excellent channel!

I really appreciate your videos. You take your time and stay on point. Your English is very good. It has a good tempo and vocal control. I always learn valuable information from your videos, and implement them into my projects. Please continue your quality work. Thank you.

Thanks for this tutorial. I really like that you upload and show after every step so we can truly follow along.

[TYGAMatt]

Brilliant. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this with us. Much appreciated

Cool stuff, I like your Video Tutorials, and they help me much to get run things I don't had a clue about. My main problem was to get run my new display with tft eSPI, about there was not much Info around how to do with my display. But I find out how, and got it running. Since then i can play around with your nice tutorials! The Idea to use eSPI i got in your videos, and it made my display much faster, as the original library does from my display.

Thank you Volos, I have been fighting with trying to get transparencies to work for a month now, your the best. Regards to family.

Thank you for your clear explanation. I learn so much from every video. I think the videos are much better unscripted because we get to understand your thought-processes, and what you say is more authentic and natural.

Awesome work mate thank you for taking the time to teach us these things!! You and lilygo are an awesome team!!

Your videos are exactly what I need to make some additional gauges in my SUV as I have changed to a different power train. Many vehicle functions were handled by the old engine controller, like the air conditioning compressor logic and I am adding functions like variable speed electric fans as well as additional gauges. I am using Arduino mega2560 A/D to read a lot of sensors, scale data and provide basic control logic. Then the scaled data is going to the LILYGO T-Display-S3 via. I2C to drive multiple gauges. Your examples have been very instructive and with them my code is really improving - Thank You

You are doing a great job with English language. And this is an interesting concept. I now know how to eliminate flicker and draw sprites. Very nice. I'm sure it probably took a while to figure these tricks out. But it looks very nice.

[edwilliams]

Thanks! Very informative, like this whole series. Very clearly explained. (And your English is perfectly fine for anyone who actually cares to listen and learn -- and if they *don't*, forget 'em and carry on!).

[tmiller]

Thank you. It was helpful to see how some of this comes together.

[rocoroco]

Thank you so much! I am waiting for my LilyGo screen to arrive... This will be my first project with it!!!

[thepapatech]

Learning quite a lot watching your videos. Keep up the great work!

[briannielsbergh]

I've been searching for a way to get rid of the flickering, even been in the official lilygo forum (and in the TFT forum) and not anyone could give a clue... finally I found this video with a simple hack, thank you so much 😊😊

[nkbdl]

I finally got it working. I am using a LilyGO T-Display S3 and there are some small variations in how to put the code in. But the code works. Thank you! :)

Great video, i suggest you to also talk about the approach used in some examples for the moving sprites of the tft library. They use a buffer to “clear” the background as far as i understood.

Great tutorial. Thanks. Very appreciated. Please do more tutorials.
